Many people will think that Eden Hazard is the one that leads the Belgian football team in this World Cup. However, if you have a closer look you will notice that Maruane Fellaini is the Most Valuable Player of this team so far.
Fellaini, 30, move everywhere in the field. He is very efficient defensively and contributes to the max when the team attacks. A considerable amount of fans dislike him and the reason may be that he is doing a "silent" work. Thus, he cannot show the upper level gameplay and his contribution is under the lights.
The most important fact about his player is the Distribution of the ball in the center of the field. Here are some stats of Fellaini so far:
It can be noticed that Fellaini has a great accuracy in passing the ball mostly on the right and left side, where the most attacks of the Belgian team come from.
I hope Fellaini will continue this amazing performance and help Belgium get a high position in the World Cup, even winning it!
